Batman Costumes - An Evolution in create

Batman Costumes - An Evolution in create


In May 1939 'Detective Comics' created a character that would go on to become a household name not just in America but all over the world. That character was Batman (aka 'The Dark Knight' and 'The Caped Crusader'). Over the last seventy years he has starred in numerous comics, visible novels, books, movies and video games. During this time the Batman persona has, in most ways, remained much the same since his conception. The Batman costumes that have been worn, however, have steadily and sometimes dramatically evolved.

The evolution of Batman costumes began within his first year of life. The first things to change were the ears on the costume- they became longer. In July 1939 the utility belt was introduced to his outfit. Despite some minor changes the Batman costumes remained pretty much the same then until 1964. They were just basic, Grey figure-clinging suits with a cape and mask. At one point, D.C. Were undoubtedly starting to give serious observation to dropping Batman wholly due to sales of the comic slumping so dramatically. Something had to be done and some changes were made to some things in the comic together with the Batman costumes. The bat fastener on the costumes' chest was given a yellow background the shape of the cape was changed.

1966 brought the Tv series of 'Batman' to our screens. The batman costumes During this period stayed pretty much the same. With the show finally being axed in 1968, after 120 episodes, D.C. Tried to re-establish the darker side of Batman. This was only obvious in comic form until 1989 when Tim Burton released his undeniably Goth inspired 'Batman' movie. It was at this point that batman costumes began to become far more 'body-armour' orientated. The other big unlikeness was the loss of the yellow and black fastener on the chest.

With 'Batman Returns' in 1992 and 1995's 'Batman Forever' the outfit remained virtually identical, the emphasis still remaining on armor rather than fabric and also a mid-section perfect with abdominal muscle that harked back to the natural physique featured in the comics of the past. This makes Batman look tough but the only drawback is a severe restriction of movement. The Batman costumes in the new movies must hamper the hero with his movements in a similar way to the knights of old in their metal armour. In the comic, Batman's movement was very fluid, graceful and acrobatic. When you are decked out in Teflon, Kevlar or the like this isn't going to be happening.

The next evolution in costume make came in 1997 with 'Batman and Robin'. If you talk to any loyal fan of Batman then you will find that this is a touchy subject... All of the outfits in this movie, not just Batman's, verge on being Gothic fetish clothing. It was even more armoured and, to add insult to injury, it featured leading 'bat-nipples'.

Fans were compensated in 2005 with 'Batman Begins' when costume make reverted back to a more 1989 ' Goth Batman' feel. By now, the suit was basically black apart from Batman's utility belt. This style then prolonged into 'The Dark Knight' in 2008.

Most followers of Batman would probably say that they are reasonably satisfied with the Bat-suit at gift but what direction costume designers will take next is anyone's guess.
